You know that I respect your opinion, but I think this characterization is inappropriate. Bob has not been involved in the decision making for this document as chair. The text in the document was the result of 6man WG consensus. I am perfectly fine if the WG revisits its consensus as a result of the points that came up during Brian H.’s INT directorate review but rest assured that there is no mountain and no stone tablets. 

Thanks
